I am passing a variable value via URL to another jsp page, but when I run a System.out.println
on the 2nd jsp page to check the variable value, it is always null.
Any help is appreciated.
The codes below are snippets of my original program to make it less wordy.
Testsend.jsp
<%@ page import ="java.sql.*" %>
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1">
<title>Insert title here</title>
</head>
<body>
<!-- Prints out Table header -->
<table border="1">
<tr>
<td>Title</td>
</tr>
<%
PreparedStatement pstmt;
pstmt = conn.prepareStatement("Select * from tadot");
ResultSet rs = pstmt.executeQuery();
while(rs.next()){
out.println("<form action ='Testsend.jsp' method='post'");
out.println("<tr>");
out.println("<td>" + rs.getString("Title") + "</td>");
out.println("<td> <input type='hidden' name='hidden' value='"+rs.getString("Title")+"'> <input type='submit' name='editm' value='Edit'> </td>");
out.println("</tr>");
out.println("</form>");
}
String ed="";
// Check if edit button is clicked
if(request.getParameter("editm") != null) {
String getmov3 = request.getParameter("hidden");
// DEBUG - PRINTS OUT VALUE CORRECTLY
System.out.println("Testsend.jsp"+getmov3);
ed = getmov3;
// DEBUG - PRINTS OUT VALUE CORRECTLY
System.out.println(ed);
// Passes variable ed to Testrec.jsp
response.sendRedirect("Testrec.jsp?ed"+ed);
}
%>
</table>
</body>
</html>
Testrec.jsp
<%@ page language="java" contentType="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1"
pageEncoding="ISO-8859-1"%>
